10 Great 1980s Horror Movies You May Have Never Seen

"Like a lot of kids, growing up in the 1980s with my kid brother, we spent a great deal of time watching wonderfully inappropriate horror films, mostly on pay TV, late night cable or with parental permission, renting them from the local video store. Peeking through fingers, knowing we shouldn't be seeing what we were seeing but unable and often unwilling to turn away as our hearts jackhammered our spines, thrilled at the scary spectacle unraveling before us; sneering monsters with crimson claws and drooling fangs, certain to inspire nightmares and night lights.
These late nights would lead to a lifelong fascination with genre films, and so, with a whiff of nostalgia in the air and a devilish grin, recounted here are ten of the best overlooked fright films the 1980s have to offer, and, despite some lazy tropes, overkill of slasher franchises, and uneasy exploitation misfires, the horror film had a heyday of artistic and commercial successes that has been unrivaled since."
